BETTER FRUIT 



Page Tvcenty-five 



the quality of the fruit after its long sea 

 voyage. 



"This week large quantities of apples 

 have arrived at Covent Garden from British 

 Columbia, Oregon, and Washington — Jona- 

 thans, Newtowns, Spitzenbergs, Mcintosh 

 Reds, and other varieties — and it is not too 

 much to say that never have apples been 

 received in better condition. The shippers 

 in the west are easily first as packers. 

 Quality, size and color are carefully 

 studied, and the attention paid to these 

 important details explains the popularity of 

 the fruit in foreign markets. But a feature 

 of the consignments novy being received is 

 the freshness of the fruit, and importers 

 attribute thi? not only to efficiency in 

 refrigeration, but also to the advantages 

 derived from the Panama Canal route." 



The writer concludes by pointing out 

 how the use of the new route will reduce 

 the handling of the shipments to a min- 

 imum, .'.nd describes the Panam.i Canal as 

 an important link between the fruit 

 orchards of the Pacific Coast and markets 

 in other countries. 



In an interview on the subject of apple 

 importations from the Northwest, W. 

 Ravenhill, director of T. J. Poupart, Ltd., 

 remarked: 



"Northwestern apples have never arrived 

 in better condition than those that have 

 reached London by the Panama route, via 

 Southampton. If apples can always be 

 received here in a condition equal to that of 

 the fruit which came on the Moliere, then 

 I feel convinced that the trade will show 

 a considerable increase, because purchases 

 may be made with confidence. And, to sell 

 such apples, is really a oleasure." 



Spreader Helps Spray 



Lead arsenate spray of half the usual 

 strength, combined with a spreader, proved 

 much more effective than the usual strength 

 — 4 pounds to 200 gallons water — without 

 spreader, in tests for codling moth at the 

 Oregon Agricultural College Experiment 

 Station. The spreader used was calcium 

 caseinate, 12 ounces to 200 gallons of spr.iy. 

 The gain was due to the even, uniform 

 coating of poison with the spreader, as 

 against a blotchy spread without it.
